Re: Colorado/Canyon...how are they doing?
I have a buddy who is really upset the S10 went away, and bashes the new twins. So I said to him, have you driven one yet? He says.......NO........Doh. I say give them a chance before you bash them! I think the effects of the bad press GM gets is extremely far reaching. PPL have this mindset where they are quick to jump on GM for anything and everything, even some who may have been GM ppl. That is the case with this guy. Though he does like Mustangs too.

The Colorado is LIGHT YEARS ahead of them as far as build quality and such....

Just some of the reasons I didn't buy one. Hopefully they'll work the bugs out in a few.

), and take them for a ride or something. And for GM if that I5 is going to get any respect, ya gotta get some more power out of it. 
I could swear there was an article in AW, quite a while back, that hinted that 300 hp was possible, now that would be phenominal, and certainly bring some ppl around IMO!

I've never been a fan of the Headlight/Parking light arrangement. Also, I think the angled fender flares look wierd.
It's one refresh away from me buying one. No drivetrain/Interior issues - just personally do not like the exterior styling.

Re: Colorado/Canyon...how are they doing?
It still puzzles me that with gas prices soaring, almost all manufacturers have abandoned compact trucks. Maybe it's why the Ford sells so well still. I don't need a huge truck, I don't tow etc. I just need daily transportation that'll haul a dirt-bike and various crap from time to time. Some economy would be nice.
I guess the market for those trucks shrank enough to be expendable.

Ah yes. "The Flaw."
Well, see the Kessel Run is an event where you go the furthest distance you can in a certain amount of time... that way... 12 parsecs is an acceptible answer

That's what I love about the design. The angled fender flares look odd without the plastic flares added, but when they're there I think it's a very aggressive looking package.
Actually, It's just the Z71 package I really like. The base models are very neutral to me.
